Giants Elevate Jameis Winston as Likely Week 11 Starter After Mike Kafka Takes Over

With Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol, New York resets after Brian Daboll's ouster as Mike Kafka reorders the quarterbacks ahead of Green Bay.

Overview

  • Giants ownership fired Brian Daboll on Monday and named offensive coordinator Mike Kafka the interim head coach.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left Week 10 with a concussion and remains in the NFL protocol, leaving his Week 11 availability in doubt.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jameis Winston has been elevated on the depth chart and is expected to start against the Packers if Dart is not cleared.
  • Kafka’s debut comes Sunday versus Green Bay, following New York’s fourth straight loss highlighted by a late collapse in Chicago.
  • Early betting markets list Mike McCarthy as the favorite for the permanent job, and an anonymous player told ESPN the locker room wants a coach who prioritizes internal accountability.
